Two residents told a Harris County board meeting they want a teacher fired after they said the teacher celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and they called for placement of the teacher on the Texas Education Agency’s Do Not Hire list. The board then announced it would enter closed session citing Texas Government Code provisions that allow executive‑session discussion of personnel and other confidential matters.
The comments came during the public comment period, which the meeting notice said required in‑person registration five minutes before the start of the meeting and limited each speaker to three minutes. Audrey Anderson, identified at the meeting as the board clerk, served as timekeeper.
